Exclusive: Rail regulator pulls Avanti service from timetable from mid-December but it is needed for staff travel

I’ve really noticed that Rider 2025.3.0.2 (and 3.0.1) is incredibly unstable on Mac.
Having to restart several times a day. Infuriating!
Is there another patch on the way @jetbrains.com?

Having turned up at high school with a new car to impress everyone and then having tried standing outside football's window with a ghettoblaster, the Super League organisers are now in the sending mean letters saying they won't find anyone better to go out with phase of winning football over.
As revealed earlier, they’re back! For those still following the ESL franchise, I make this the 4th iteration of A22’s plan to replace the deeply unpopular Champions League that nobody wants to watch, televise or sponsor. Apparently.

I'm going insane because people constantly recommend using AI for things and it is always, ALWAYS worse than repeatedly bashing my head on a brick.
